I am a high school science teacher and a backyard mechanic with decent mechanical skills. As a summer project, I recently purchased a 1981 vw gas pickup that was in the process of being converted to a turbo diesel. I purchased the 1977-1984 Bentley diesel service manual. I am not getting fuel to the Injection Pump. I used a primer bulb to pump the fuel to the filter and past then clamp the hose to maintain pressure. (I placed a piece of clear hose in the fuel line to let me know if the fuel is in the line). When I hook the fuel line to the IP, the fuel seems to run back to the tank. When I crank the engine, the IP does not draw the fuel. The injectors have been disconnected. Any suggestions are truly appreciated.
